Artist at Heart and librarian for dreams= reading, painting, drawing, poetry, all in a mesh bag.
Rosa E Latorre
I’m originally from the Philippines but moved to New Jersey at the age of seven to live with my mother. I recently received my B.A. in Liberal Arts with a concentration of English Lit. The discipline of English Literature gives me a better understanding of details and close reading which gives me a better insight on life, colors, text, and basically everything around me.
My works of art have an underbelly of similarity but different skins. What I mean by that is all my paintings, sketches, photos, etc. may look different but their principles are the same. I do art because I appreciate lines, light, and vibrant dark colors. My basic color pallet are vivid and dark. With photography, it is the contrast of lines and lights along with its engagement to the environment that makes for captivating pictures.
What strikes me from others is my love for lines. In all my works, you can identify lines in many shapes. Another thing that sharpens me from the art group is my affinity for Sharpies. I use Sharpie with almost all my work as a starter. I do not think of what to make, rather, I use lines to take me to my next creation.
Question: 1. What if the world was Oblong? Do you think the world would be different? How?
or.. 2. I gave you a $100 dollars, what would you do with it?
this one is really cool! I love the fact that it's untitled, so that it allows people to interpret it in their own way. My take on it: the man looks very sad, yet since his eyes are closed, he's at peace, and the colorful collar makes him appear approachable. All the scattered clippings and cut up words next too him represent his memories, and the fact that there are many bright colors and positive words like "together" in the collage, it seems like he wants to hold on to these thoughts. Meanwhile, to his other side there is nothing but darkness, which makes me think that he has changed over the years and his life is now empty, and all he has left are memories, hence why he is sad.
Aside from that, I love your use of color, especially for the skin and the pale lips.
